CHRIS!!! DONT SAY YOU USED TO JUMP ON KOOPAS ON THE ORIGINAL MARIO BROS ARCADE GAME!!! THATS LITERALLY THE ONLY GAME WHERE YOU CAN'T JUMP ON THEM!!! YOU GOTTA HIT THEM FROM BELLOW ON THAT ONE!!! EVERYONE WILL SEE THROUGH YOU!!! CHRIS!!!!

they aren’t even call koopas in this game lol

[@Smokydoggg]

This is it; this is the primordial soup, where a lot of it began. Donkey Kong started the formula of jumping, but this one polished it further and brought on the Koopas and the idea of hitting a block from underneath, coins, pipes, so much of the series started here. Super Mario Bros. was simply an evolution of this

The idea that this game would be for two players did not come about until Shigeru Miyamoto was inspired by Williams' Joust. The name for Mario's brother, Luigi, who is introduced in this game, came from a pizza parlor nearby the then-new Redmond, Washington headquarters of Nintendo of America called "Mario and Luigi's."

[@AmazingSpider-Man]

I love this game. There aren't any more changes after phase 35, so I completed phase 36 (the last level of that group of six) and phase 37 because it was a bonus stage and then I lost on purpose at phase 38. Story-wise that would be the end of the adventure, Mario and Luigi cleaned the sewers and went home. My favorite enemies are the sidesteppers, and they are also the fastest and most dangerous ones, lol. I would have an arcade cabinet of this game if I could.

[@alvexok5523]

It was easy to tell that this guy gave up the last couple minutes of this video/the game and just kept purposely killing himself off, except that I don't understand why he decided to do that with one lousy crab left that he could've gotten. At least finish a level first if you're that close to doing so. Maybe the next level would've been different. But if he was having even more trouble with it and there were still several enemies left, then he could've just killed himself off. But I do agree that if after a point, the levels are each exactly the same, then it isn't so fun and interesting anymore. And it did look like it was starting to do that. But he still should've killed off that last enemy and finished a level before quitting.

[@ddljunkygames7654]

​​@@alvexok5523 Ikr, I was so annoyed he didn't finish the level 😅 It was only level 24 after all Edit: 25

[@Profkol0rado]

I like to think that after they went home the next day later Luigi and Mario go investigate the pipes but both of them get sucked into the pipes and get sent into the mushroom kingdom

[@VahanNisanian]

You'd think this version came first, but apparently, it was the Game & Watch version. So the Game & Watch version was the REAL debut of Luigi.

[@denastyone2788]

Vahan Nisanian Yo you just blew my brain to bits by mentioning the game and watch version I was 11 years old when those came out I didn't ever remember they had those holy shit

[@theangryewok3001]

@Pedro Gonzales No it didnt. I did research and two game and watch games titled mario bros and mario's cement factory came before this one. But they are very different games

[@theangryewok3001]

@Pedro Gonzales I checked. Game and Watch:Mario Bros came out before this one came out. Mario was in it with luigi, therefore that was luigis first appearance. Game and Watch: Mario Bros came out March 14 of 1983. This Mario Bros came out July 14 of 1983.

[@theangryewok3001]

@Pedro GonzalesIf you wanna check the dates, use wikipedia or some other site for dates. You can check gameplay of the game and watch on youtube to see that it has luigi

[@travisminger9529]

However the best game with Luigi as a playable character is neither of those, it’s Mario is Missing.

[@priestwilliamson2135]

I remember when we used to just hit the fireballs for more points, and extra lives.

[@TayoEXE]

It's kind of funny how many people think Chris Pratt got the game wrong when they themselves for some reason don't even know this game exists and is technically the game that started the whole formula. Two italian plumber brothers, getting coins and hitting blocks, turtles, etc. I mean, he's technically not wrong that you can "stomp" on Koopas, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get very far. xD

[@Atariatari-ky9te]

The first video game I ever played. My Auntie took me to the Laundry Mat back in the Mid 80's gave me a quarter and I played this while she was washing clothes. 1985 or 86' to be exact. I was 4 or 5 years old and needed a step stool! The Original Mario Bros, Ms. Pac Man and Dig Dug are all tied for my favorite Video Game of All time! and I can say I love my Atari 7800 who brought great versions of all three of these games!

I Never Knew Soaring Over Summers Arcade Would Make Level 5 Into A Mario Bros Arcade Game

[@jaycerrito3142]

Here's a long story of how I would make a Mario back story during the early days, Mario and Luigi were brought up by the stork just like in Yoshi's Island and lived in the mushroom kingdom until they grew up and went through sewer pipes to the real world specifically Brooklyn, New York. Mario preferred to stay in Brooklyn over the Mushroom kingdom while Luigi stayed home and then the Donkey Kong arcade games take place. Mario meets Pauline and has a rivalry with Donkey Kong and became a carpenter. After Donkey Kong 2 after feeling bad for being the bad guy, he retires as a carpenter and became a plumber and let Stanley deal with DK. Meanwhile Mario convinces Luigi to come to Brooklyn and that's when the Mario Bros arcade game took place. After getting rid of the turtles and crabs, Mario breaks up with Pauline by telling her he's seeing an old special someone (Peach) and moves back into the Mushroom kingdom with Luigi starting the Super Mario Bros NES game we all know and love. As for DK and DK Jr, they move back to the jungles and then DK III from the Donkey Kong Country series is born while DK Jr mysteriously disappeared. That's how I would do a back story of Mario in the early days.

[@miamimagicians]

The graphics actually look really really good for 1983 I think the graphics here are a little better than in the original Mario brothers for the Nintendo

[@agrady7216]

Do you all know that the “Koopas” in this game are not Koopa Troopas, they are Shellcreepers, their prototype?

[@noicewally2605]

This Game Never Ends

[@RodConvoy1987]

Are you sure? Always wondered as a kid.

[@invalid_user_handle]

@@RodConvoy1987 The game actually does, albiet due to a glitch in the game's programming. Once you reach over 975-990k points (depends on what the machine's rate of giving extra lives is set to), the game's routine for 'what next score threshold has to be passed to get another bonus life' overflows since you can only have up to 999999 points, causing it to think that the next bonus-life score is 0 points instead. And of course, since you have way above that amount of points, it'll give you a bonus life every frame when it does the check. After a few seconds, this'll cause your life counter to overflow from 255 to 0 (gotta love 8-bit arithmetic!), and the game will automatically declare a game over if the lives counter ever reaches 0, even if the player hasn't actually died to cause it. So thus, whatever Phase you end up getting such a score on (coincidentally this is around Phase 98-99 at optimal play) is the end of the game.

So this is what Mario and Luigi were doing before they got sucked by the warp pipe that sent them to the mushroom kingdom. I assume that after the fiasco where Mario tried to kill a baby gorilla, he got fired from his job as a carpenter, or maybe he was fired after he saved Pauline from Donkey Kong then Pauline dumped him and that's why he tried to kill DKJR. And the then unemployed Mario started working with Luigi who was already a plumber. It's all coming together. So did Mario ever tried to explain to Luigi and Peach why he tried to kill a baby gorilla? I'm sure that'll be a fun conversation! 🤣
